Urban Mountain Biking is another unique Aspen Day Tripper experience. UMB is a terrific introduction to biking, where kids learn all the basics from road rules to how to ride a bike properly. Fitted with proper sized helmets, biking gloves and bikes, kids learn how to stand on the peddles going down a series of steps, how to shift gears before climbing up a hill or simply to put on the brakes at a stop sign. Aspen Day Trippers gives your children plenty of positive feedback as they learn how to ride safely on city streets at a pace that is always appropriate, with numerous breaks and fun stops, (taking a dip at our favorite swimming hole is one of the classics), Day Trippers gain the confidence to progress beyond their expectations. Because we ride in small groups, Day Trippers receive individual coaching before graduating to technical trail riding. Separate programs for girls and boys create an even smaller and more intimate group experience. Urban Mountain Biking is physical and tons of fun!
